Gwyneth Paltrow

Yeah, like I said I didn’t even know that she was in Hook until right now and I’m pretty sure you probably didn’t either, unless you’ve seen it in the last couple of years or something. She’s only in Hook briefly playing the younger version of Wendy Darling, although it’s pretty unlikely that anyone thought back in 1991 that she would grow up to appear in the highest grossing movie of all time. OK, sure she only played a bit role in it because of her connection to Iron Man (we’re talking about her playing Pepper Potts in Avengers, dummy, although there’s an argument to be made that she was nothing more than a glorified Avengers Sex Toy in that movie ) but you can’t take that away from the role and the fact of the matter is that she only got it because she’s one of the biggest female actresses around and also an Oscar winner. Yeah, I’d forgotten about Shakespeare In Love before I started writing this article too.

It’s even crazier because she only got the role because she’s Steven Spielberg’s god daughter (pretty useful connection to have right?) and has now grown into probably one of the biggest female actresses in the world. It’s a shame that she’s also a bit of a twat who comes up with ridiculous diet fads, gives away stupid advice for money on her dumb website goop and names her kid Apple.
